6216V Transaxel Gear Lube

Somewhat confused as to what to use in my trans-axle. Chart posted by UCD states in a 3 Speed Trans axle use Simplicity Multi Purpose Hyd. oil. The Operators Manual for 6200 Series says Multi- Purpose HYD/ Trans oil. I have a 3 Speed Trans-axle. My question is what are the charts telling me. Is this the same as hyd. oil - automatic transmission fluid used for a hydro trans.? I was under the impression that a gear type trans. would use a gear lube such as 80-90 weight.

Yes it is the same. Most of the newer automotive manual transmissions and transfer cases now use ATF.

UCD: Thanks, I was afraid that this was a foolish question. Hated to admit that I had already added ATF!! You sure do a fine job attacking these questions Again Thanks. Ron
